F2 ON THE DISPLAY / WILL NOT RUN / MODEL FDB30R1

Question edited, toss in a load of CAPS.

The capacitor is likely to have failed internally. It can still produce voltage. Or the transformer that supplies power has failed.

No one else has recorded this issue

If your Midea Cube 20-Pint Smart WiFi Dehumidifier is stuck on "Water Level 50%" even though the tank has been emptied multiple times, you can try the following steps to reset it:

1. Unplug the dehumidifier from the power source and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
2. While the dehumidifier is unplugged, remove the water tank and check for any obstructions in the water tank outlet or on the float switch.
3. Clean the water tank with warm water and mild detergent, then dry it thoroughly before replacing it in the dehumidifier.
4. Plug the dehumidifier back in and turn it on. If the water level indicator still shows 50%, try pressing and holding the "Water Level" button for 3-5 seconds to reset the sensor.
5. If the issue persists, try performing a factory reset on the dehumidifier. To do this, press and hold the "Timer" and "Mode" buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds until the display panel shows "F". Then, press the "Power" button to turn the dehumidifier off, unplug it from the power source, and wait for 5-10 minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact Midea customer support for further assistance or to have the unit serviced by a professional.

Usually the P1 error indicates that dehumidifier needs to be defrosted. The unit has detected ice build-up on the condenser coils.

Unplug the dehumidifier for several hours. Then plug it back in. If the problem recurs, check that the fan that blows air across the coils is working properly. Make sure that the room is not colder than the operating range of the dehumidifier. If the problems continues to occur, you may have a refrigerant leak in the system. That will require a service call to repair the dehumidifier.

If the unit is under warranty, contact Westpointe. The manual I have for a Westpointe 65 PT dehumidifier, https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/content/pdfs/136333-1.pdf, indicates the unit is covered through year 5 after purchase for a refrigerant system. For Warranty service, the contact point is Midea Consumer Service at 1-866-646-4332. If the unit is not under warranty, consider whether to replace the dehumidifier.

I hope this helps.

(I have seen a dehumidifier develop a refrigerant leak. It constantly froze before the leak was repaired and the refrigerant topped off.)

I have provided you a website that may help.

There has been a recall since 2013. Here below is the website.

My advice. Contact Gree. Be persistent and kind. Customer Support Reps, being people, can do wonders sometimes when they are treated kindly.

Probably some glitch with the sensors. I recommend taking it to a service center.

If the display reads "F1" or "F2", a sensor has failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center.

Dehumidifier (DE45EJ-L) shows only E2 on the display -- no "buttons" work. Had been working perfectly -- we turned it off a few days ago. Any suggestions??

SETTING THE MACHINE TO TURN ON
1. Make sure the dehumidifier is plugged in but turned off.
2. Press the button with the clock symbol below it.
3. Press the up arrow to set how many hours until you want the machine to turn ON. If you have pressed the button for more hours than you wanted then press the down arrow to lower the number of hours.
4. After you have stopped pressing the arrow buttons the display will return to the original display showing temperature and relative humidity.
5. After the above steps are completed the dehumidifier will turn ON in the number of hours that you have set (programmed).

SETTING THE MACHINE TO TURN OFF
1. Make sure the dehumidifier is plugged in and running. You should hear the fan blowing for sure.
2. Press the button with the clock symbol below it.
3. Press the up arrow to set how many hours until you want the machine to turn OFF. If you have pressed the button for more hours than you wanted then press the down arrow to lower the number of hours.
4. After you have stopped pressing the arrow buttons the display will return to the original display showing temperature and relative humidity.
5. After the above steps are completed the dehumidifier will turn OFF in the number of hours that you have set (programmed).

This will need to be serviced. LG has a 5 year warranty on these models. They usually will tell you of a service center nearby which will service it free of charge since it is under warranty. If you do not live near a service center they may ship you a replacement and you send your old dehumidifier back to them. Make sure you have your reciept when you contact them so they can verify it is 1 year old.
